At Our Sweetest, We Fall Apart

At Our Sweetest, We Fall Apart

At the celebration where Lorenzo Alvarez is crowned the new mafia boss, his men arrange a few performances. A dancer in a backless top and short skirt twists around the pole under the lights. "Don't look," he murmurs, covering my eyes with his hand. "This kind of cheap entertainment isn't worthy of you." His men jump in immediately. "Lorenzo still spoils Ms. Valenti after all these years. That kind of devotion is rare. We're so jealous." "A man as loyal and single-minded as Lorenzo is hard to find." I rest a hand on my belly, planning to tell him tonight that I am pregnant. But when I return from the restroom, I see the same man who had just held me in his arms leaning back in his chair while the dancer straddles his lap. Lorenzo slips his business card and a thick fold of cash into the waistband of her skirt. He laughs, relaxed and unbothered. "Isabella is wonderful, sure, but life needs a little passion. This ragazza is just something new. A bit of fun. "Keep your mouths shut. Don't go running to Isabella and upset her. Otherwise, you'll have a problem." Cold rushes through me. I do not approach or confront Lorenzo. I simply take out my phone and answer the email I have been avoiding for days. "I agree to participate in the confidential experiment."

A Escolha Mortal do Meu Don

A Escolha Mortal do Meu Don

Eu estava grávida de oito meses e participava de um baile de caridade com meu marido, o Don Massimo, quando uma família rival nos atacou. A multidão entrou em pânico. Fui empurrada ao chão com violência. Havia sangue por toda parte. Massimo perdeu o controle, gritando por médicos, desesperado para salvar meu bebê. Mas, quando acordei, eles tinham desaparecido. Ambos. Sem bebê, sem Massimo. Lembrei-me dos tiros, de Massimo me protegendo com o próprio corpo. Um pavor gelado tomou conta de mim. Arrastei-me até uma cadeira de rodas e corri pelo corredor. Foi quando os ouvi — Massimo e o médico. — Don, sinto muito. Fizemos tudo o que pudemos. O bebê… ele não sobreviveu. Lágrimas escorriam pelo meu rosto. Eles mataram meu bebê. A família rival matou meu bebê. Mas as palavras seguintes dele destruíram meu mundo. — Havia apenas uma equipe médica. Eu tive que fazer uma escolha. Bianca… ela também estava carregando meu filho. Massimo suspirou e então deu a ordem: — Ninguém conte a Arabella. Ela vai criar o filho de Bianca como se fosse dela. Ele será meu único herdeiro. Tapei a boca com a mão, minha visão embaçada pelas lágrimas enquanto me virava. O homem que eu amava era uma mentira. Tudo bem. Se ele quer uma guerra, ele vai ter uma.

Good Girls Don’t Cross The Line

Good Girls Don’t Cross The Line

Knox Callahan, Crestwood High golden boy and hockey captain… my biggest tormentor. All it had taken was one clumsy spill in biology class to make me his favourite target. And there is no escaping him, no matter how hard I fight back. Then the decision that changed everything came. "Annalise, I got married. We are moving," mom said. And the new house? It turned out to be Knox's. Because somehow, while I was busy surviving him, his father had been out there and managed to steal my mother's heart before secretly marrying her. And now the boy who made my life hell was now my stepbrother but there is nothing remotely brotherly about the way Knox looks at me. Or even the way his hands would slide up my skin each time he was near me. It is quite hard… keeping up appearances and pretending the tension suffocating every room that we both happened to step into doesn't exist. The more we share the same space, the harder it becomes to remember why I should stay the fuck away from my new stepbrother. And Knox? He doesn’t even try.. He corners me and touches me at every opportunity in ways that can never be mistaken for anything innocent. The darkness I once feared resided inside of him begins to feel dangerously like something I really crave. But I am a good girl. And good girls shouldn't want their stepbrothers. Yet I am running out of reasons to resist.

I Hope We Never Meet Again

I Hope We Never Meet Again

On my girlfriend's birthday, I was in the middle of preparing a surprise for her when the property management office of our marital home called first. "Sir, we've received a complaint from another resident," the staff member said. "They claim there's been… quite a bit of noise coming from your unit at night. From you and your wife." I frowned. The only person I had given a key to that apartment was my girlfriend. I called her immediately. She answered with a soft, teasing tone, "They must have made a mistake. I'm at my best friend's place." "Alright," I said evenly. "Enjoy yourself." After hanging up, I opened the smart home system without hesitation and remotely locked every door and window from the outside. Then I dialed the police. "Hello, I'd like to report an unlawful entry."

We Were Never Meant to Stay

We Were Never Meant to Stay

After the evening study session, I was just about to return to the dorm when my first boyfriend, the school's valedictorian and undisputed top student, suddenly tore across the courtyard toward me. Before I could react, he grabbed my wrist and, in full view of a crowd of stunned students, dragged me into a frantic run toward the front gates. I exclaimed, "Julian, have you lost your mind? Graduation's six months away. Are you really trying to run off with me now?" I struggled the whole way, twisting and pulling against him, but his grip never loosened. "Autumn, don't ask any questions. Just come with me. Hurry!" he said, his voice trembling with panic. We fled the school, jumped into a taxi in the middle of the night, and rushed to another city, where we checked into a rundown budget motel. Arms folded and brow furrowed, I glared at him. "So you hauled me out of school like a lunatic just to hole up in a cheap motel?" His cheeks turned bright red. He flailed his hands in frantic denial, then thrust a phone into my hands. I barely had time to unlock the phone and start dialing my parents before a breaking news alert flashed across the screen. My eyes locked on the screen, and I went rigid with shock. The headline reported, 'Mass Death at Blackwood High: All 5,000 students and faculty found dead last night after experiencing catastrophic bleeding. Only two students who skipped the study session survived.' I looked up at Julian in horror. He was staring at the screen too, his face white as paper, cold sweat running down his forehead. "You knew, didn't you?" I asked. "What the hell is going on?"

Every time Leander sleeps with Dinah, he holds me afterward and whispers, "Jenny, just wait a little longer. We can finally have our wedding once Dinah gets pregnant." It's the only condition the Beaumont family, Westrael’s most powerful mafia clan, sets for Leander to become the next Don. In just half a year after returning home, Leander visits Dinah's room 59 times. He starts from once a month... to nearly every single day. Finally, after the 60th time I watch him leave Dinah's room, the "good news" comes. Dinah is pregnant. And along with it, an announcement—the Beaumont family declares Leander and Dinah are getting married. "Mamma, is someone getting married?" my young son asks, staring at the house now lavishly decorated by a wedding company. I quietly gather him into my arms, my voice cold as I say, "Yes, sweetheart. Your father is marrying the woman he loves. It's time for us to leave." What Leander doesn't know is that the Bellini family, my family, has risen to become a mafia power strong enough to rival the Beaumonts. And me? I'm Jenny Bellini, the most beloved daughter of the Bellini family. I will never be trapped by marriage again.

On m'a violemment bousculée et je suis tombée au sol. Du sang partout. Massimo a complètement perdu la raison, criant pour appeler des médecins, désespéré de sauver mon bébé.

C'est alors que je les ai entendus — Massimo et le médecin. « Monsieur, je suis désolé. Nous avons fait tout ce que nous pouvions. Le bébé… il n'a pas survécu », a-t-il murmuré. Les larmes ont coulé sur mon visage. Ils avaient tué mon bébé. La famille rivale avait tué mon bébé. Mais les paroles suivantes de Massimo ont complètement brisé mon monde. « Il n'y avait qu'une seule équipe médicale. J'ai dû faire un choix. Bianca… elle portait aussi mon enfant », a-t-il dit d'une voix lourde. Massimo a soupiré, puis a donné son ordre. « Personne ne doit rien dire à Arabella. Elle élèvera l'enfant de Bianca comme le sien. Il sera mon unique héritier », a-t-il déclaré. J'ai plaqué une main sur ma bouche, la vue brouillée par les larmes, avant de me détourner. L'homme que j'avais aimé n'était qu'un mensonge. Très bien. S'il voulait une guerre, il l'aurait.
